PIERRE, S.D.(DRGNews)- Like many other projects, inflation has made the cost of building a new domestic violence center in Pierre jump by about $1.5 million.

Missouri Shores Domestic Violence Center Executive Director Sarah Reinhart says their current shelter isn’t large enough to serve their clients.

Reinhart says the initial estimated total cost for the new emergency shelter was around $3.5 million.

Reinhart says if a group or individual would like to donate to the project, they can reach out to her.

Missouri Shores Domestic Violence Center serves men, women and children affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking or stalking. Services provided include court, law enforcement and medical advocacy, crisis intervention, referral services and rental assistance.
